NEWS 28 - Thomas Cooke has kicked off the start of his Senate bid, after announcing he was running for the Senate on October 25, 2024. The failed presidential candidate said that he was running to help his "people", and "gain notable federal government experience." This, according to experts, is what led to his down fall during the 2024 Presidential Election.

Further, the Presidential campaign team that worked on Thomas Cooke's presidential bid are set to work to get him elected to the Senate during the 2025 Senate elections, scheduled to take place next year between June-November. Voters may still be hesitant now to support him, but give it another six months, and voters are likely to change their mind. But we are still less than a year out from election day which will kick off sometime in June.

"While we lost the presidency, my hope is to gain more federal government experience, working for the hard working people of New Shire, and ensure individual rights are being upheld," said a jubilant Thomas Cooke. "We can win this thing, push more legislation to help make living easier. Make it more affordable and ensure lower drug costs than any other Congress in history."

"We have a lot of work to do before the election, so we are working to meet as many people as possible," continued Cooke. "So we are not going to jump the gun. I would have liked to win the Jesstopian Presidency but it wasn't in the playing cards this time around. I don't think we have had more support for my campaign for Senate in the history of our Senate campaign and I look forward to working towards winning a seat in the Senate. But the work will need be done to get the results we want."
